Chytridiomycosis has been implicated in the decline or extinction of hundreds of frog species worldwide since its emergence in the 1970s. The goal of this project is to identify immune frogs for captive breeding and successful reintroduction, screen populations to predict their risk of decline and develop targeted vaccines.

壶菌病自20世纪70年代出现以来，一直与全球数百种青蛙物种的衰落或灭绝有关。该项目的目标是确定免疫青蛙的圈养繁殖和成功的重新引入，筛选种群以预测其下降的风险并开发有针对性的疫苗。
